Dated,
Kokrajhar, 30th July 2012
Subject: A memorandum for urgent intervention to stop
the on-going communal clashes in Boroland Territorial Council and other parts
of western Assam.
Most respected Sir,
Namaskar!
We
the undersigned for and on behalf of Peoples’ Joint Action Committee for
Boroland Movement (PJACBM), a conglomeration of 52 organisations of all the
ethnic communities living in the northern bank of Brahmaputra and on behalf of
peace loving common people of Assam would like to appreciate and thank you for
your kind visit to this riot hit Kokrajhar in Boroland Territorial Council of
Assam in this needy hour for confidence rebuilding for peace and harmony among
different sections of people. While
appreciating your kind visit, we would like to draw the following serious facts
for your kind attention and necessary urgent intervention.
As you are aware
of the fact that an unfortunate incidents of communal clash between the simple,
straight forward and peace loving Boro Indigenous People and hostile migrants
settlers belonging to religious Muslim Community provoked and aided by some
miscreants across the Indo-Bangla boarder is erupting in the Bodoland
Territorial Council (BTC) and other parts of western Assam. This incident broke
out suddenly and took communal colour following the gruesome murders of four
Boro Indigenous youths by some unidentified miscreants belonging to Muslim
Community at Jaipur, a Muslim village which is just one kilometer away from the
Kokrajhar Police station on 19 July at about 8 pm, reportedly instigated by
some armed anti-social elements who have penetrated from across the
international boarder through Dhubri and took shelter in the Muslim dominated villages
to deliberately create social tension inciting for communal violence between
the native Boros and the migrant shelters.
That Sir, the
situation has turned out to be very serious and worsening day by day spreading
in other parts of Assam which have already claimed more than 60 innocent lives
belonging to both communities. Several villages are burnt down and more than
4,000, 00 people are rendered homeless who are presently taking shelter in more
than 250 relief camps after being forced to flee their homes for their lives. Though,
the present situation appeared to be improving slightly but internally remained
alarming due to lack of adequate security arrangement and failure of the local
administration to tackle the situation effectively, especially failure to nib
the continued provocations to indulge in communal clashes by the reportedly
presence of external forces in the Muslim dominated villages.
That Sir, we
strongly feel that the outbreak of this violence is mainly due to a deep
political conspiracy hatched by certain anti-social elements who have been
conspiring to divide the people in BTC of Assam in community lines and to
incite for communal violence to destabilise the emotional integration, peace
and tranquility among the different sections of the people living in the
present BTC areas. The formation of so called democratic organization by name
and style of “Ana Boro Suraskya Samity (Non Boro Protection Forum) and its activities in connivance with its
communal member organizations like All Minority Students’ Union (AMSU) and All
Bodoland Minority Students’ Union (ABMSU) have been systematically propagating
and instigating all the communal forces to isolate the peace loving Boro Indigenous
People and directing communal forces to target and attack on the Boros in the Bodoland
Territorial Council areas. The modus
operandi of inciting the communal hatred of those anti Boro organisations is same
as those of Talibans in other parts of the world. They have been carrying out systematic
hatred campaigns not only against the Boros but also have been conspiring to
involved other ethnic communities which is most unfortunate, condemnable and
against the human rights of the peace loving ethnic communities. The Boro
Indigenous People have been living in perfect peace for more than 5000 years in
their land and territories with other ethnic communities like Garos, Rabhas,
Rajbongshis, Barman-Kacharis, Tiwas, Karbis and many other natives. But it is a serious concern for peace loving
Indigenous People of Assam today to witness the unabated formation and growth of
such communal organizations with their ugly intension of fueling social tension
which is against the spirit of a plural society and threat to the unity, peace
and tranquility among different sections of the people and a serious threat to
the integrity of the nation.
That Sir, we
strongly feel that the present situation is compounded due to an evil design
and a systematic deep political conspiracy of certain anti tribal elements not
only to defunct the present BTC administration but also to sabotage the
on-going forty five years legitimate peaceful democratic movement of the Boro
Indigenous people for separate state of Boroland and to derail the on-going
peace dialogue between the NDFB (P) and
the Government of India.
That Sir, we
would like to affirm you that the ongoing communal clash is nothing but a
direct result of the conspiracy and provocation of the said communal Taliban like
forces with an ugly design to turn Assam to be another Kashmir who have stooped
so low not only to create serious low and order situation and subsequent
communal clashes threatening the lives and properties of the common peoples
living in the BTC areas but also to experiment their long term strategy of
jihadi style of aggression of Assam.
We therefore, on
behalf of the Peoples’ Joint Action Committee and on behalf of the peace loving
Indigenous Peoples of Assam and all the ethnic communities of proposed Boroland
strongly urge your honour to urgently intervene in the matters to:
1) stop the burning situation of communal clashes
immediately;
2) arrest the culprits involved in designing and fomenting
the communal clashes;
3) order a CBI inquiry to investigate the whole matters
leading to communal violence;
4) provide adequate security arrangement in sensitive areas and to provide immediate sufficient relief materials
including food, drinking water, clothes and
medicines in the
relief camps of communal clashes belonging to both communities;
5) provide adequate compensation to the
bereaved families and injured victims of
communal clashes;
6. stop
unabated influx of Bangladeshi migration into Assam and identify and deport
all the illegal settlers in Assam;
7. clear the Tribal Belts and Blocks from illegal
encroachers in Assam;
8. update NRC of Assam on the base year of 1951.
Looking forward
to having your serious consideration and urgent intervention.
Sincerely yours,

: Anna begins indefinite fast at Jantar Mantar
On Day 5 of the indefinite fast, Anna Hazareji joined Arvind Kejriwal, Manish Sisodia, Gopal Rai and 400 anshankaris at Jantar Mantar. Supporters turned out in hordes at Jantar Mantar - according to estimates, the footfall at Jantar Mantar touched 1.5 lakh today.
In the evening, another 50,000 people assembled at India Gate circle and walked towards Jantar Mantar with a candle in their hand in support of Annaji. Prashant Bhushan led the rally.
In the morning, Anna ji released Swaraj book written by Arvind Kejriwal written today. Anna Hazareji said that people should read Swaraj and decide for themselves whether it is the government which has drifted apart from the path or the IAC movement. He said that a true democracy is one in which people make decisions and not politicians or bureaucrats. This is the true meaning of Swaraj.
He explained to the people that Gram Sabha was supreme. Its members - those who attain 18 years of age in a village - are the ones who elect MPs and MLAs and send them to Legislative Assembly, Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha. He explained that Gram Sabha are 'Swayambhu' or self sustainent.
Arvind Kejriwal while releasing the book Swaraj and said, “I would like to thank Vinod Mehta, Yogendra Yadav and Harper Collins. For this book, I travelled for two years and met people and tried to understand their problems. I travelled to Ralegan, Hiwre Bazaar, Kutambakam and to a tribal village called Lekha Medha. I met the sarpanches there. These villages earlier were in a very bad state and poverty stricken. But after these sarpanches took charge, they just did one thing which was different. They took all decisions in an open gram sabha meeting. Today, all these villages have become model villages."
He said, a similar practice of mohalla sabhas should be started in the cities as well.
Recalling his stint in Income Tax department he said, "When I was with the IT department, we had conducted a raid on a Japanese company. The CEO who was a Japanese warned us said that if he wished he could get any law passed in our Parliament and could get us transferred. A few days after that a senior officer was transferred. Then I had thought that maybe he had the power to get us transferred but was bluffing about the getting any law passed issue. My worst fears came true when during the voting for Nuclear Bill, some MPs waived bundles of cash in Parliament."
He said, "we conducted referendum in many areas and found that 90 per cent people wanted Jan Lokpal Bill. Despite that for one-and-a-half years we have been fighting for it and nothing has happened."
He concluded his speech with an appeal to all students to take leave for a week and come out on to the streets for just one week.
Kiranji addressed the crowd in the afternoon and explained the need to make CBI independent. Prashant Bhushan spoke on the charges against Sharad Pawar, SM Krishna and Kamal Nath. Prashant Bhushan said he was not surprised by the large number of supporters since he knew people would rise up in support of the movement and that the right-thinking people want to save the country from the massive corruption, anarchy and chaos it is currently in.
While
the anshankaris might have seen a fall in health, there is no depletion
in their spirit. Despite forgoing food for 5 days, Arvind Kejriwal,
Manish Sisodia and Gopal Rai are showing every sign of seeing this fast
through till as long as it takes. Their vitals in the evening were:
Annaji: Pulse - 78, BP-160/102, Sugar-104
Arvind Kejriwal: Pulse-80, BP-110/67, Sugar-75, Ketone-4+
Manish Sisodia: Pulse-84, BP-130/81, Sugar-75, Ketone-4+
Gopal Rai - Pulse-76, BP-120/73, Sugar-88, Ketone-5+
Amongst the 400 anshankaris who are on the indefinite hunger strike, 11 had to be taken to hospital due to ill health. 90-yr-old Maniram was in high spirits though, and thanked Anna Hazareji for uniting people – even while he showed signs of weakness and had to be shifted to hospital. A 60-member medical team is constantly monitoring the health of al anshankaris. However, the callousness of the govt was marked by an absence of oxygen cylinders in the Delhi police ambulances which were transferring patients to Ram Manohar Lohia government hospital.
The donation collected was released in the evening. The collection for first 4 days was approximately Rs 12 lakhs.
The anshan carried on across the country as well.
In Chennai, more than 100 protestors sat peacefully in front of Chidambaram's house. They were man-handled and detained. They were released by evening only.
Many roads of Mumbai were also choked by IAC supporters. Marine Drive was congested by protestors who had come out in droves to support the movement. A massive Car rally was organised today which was flagged off by Anupam Kher.
In Hyderabad, one volunteer (G Venkateshwar Rao, 65) who has become very weak was taken away by the police. Presently 5 volunteers are on Ankshan since the past five days.
In Ujjain, last night 2 anshankaris were brutally hit by unknown people and their tent was completely destroyed. They filed an FIR later in the day.
Agra saw large attendance as well, attended by children and adults. A rally of schoolchildren in support of the July Kranti and indefinite fast took place in Ajmer from Gandhi Bhawan till Collectorate Ajmer.
In Bhiwani, women came out in full support of the andolan and gathered at Nehru Park, Ghanta Ghar in large numbers.

Investigation into ongoing HR violations in Burma’s Arakan (Rakhine) State
UN High Commissioner for Human Rights on Friday called for a “prompt, independent” investigation into ongoing human rights violations in Burma’s Arakan (Rakhine) State after ongoing violence between the Buddhist and Muslim communities.
“Reports indicate that the initial swift response of the authorities to the communal violence may have turned into a crackdown targeting Muslims, in particular members of the Rohingya community.”
Meanwhile, Tomas Quintana, the UN expert on human rights in Burma, will visit the country for four days starting on Tuesday, at the invitation of the government.Quintana will visit Arakan State for one day said the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) in a statement on Friday. Quintana will report his findings to the UN Human Rights Council, OHCHR said.
The violence in Arakan State in western Burma has claimed up to 78 lives and thousands of homes and businesses were burned during June.
High Commissioner Pillay said, “The government has a responsibility to prevent and punish violent acts, irrespective of which ethnic or religious group is responsible, without discrimination and in accordance with the rule of law.”
Pillay expressed dismay at the derogatory language used against the Rohingya by state-run media, some independent media, and social networking websites.
She noted earlier commitments by the government that said it would conduct an investigation and a recent fact-finding mission by the Myanmar Human Rights Commission.
“I also welcome the government's decision to allow the Special Rapporteur on the human rights situation in Myanmar access to Rakhine State during his planned mission to Myanmar next week. It is important that those affected from all communities in Rakhine are able to speak freely to the Special Rapporteur,” the High Commissioner said.
“But while he will be able to make an initial assessment during his one-day visit, this is no substitute for a fully-fledged independent investigation,” she said.
She also called on Burmese national leaders to speak out against discrimination, the exclusion of minorities and racist attitudes, and in support of equal rights for all, and stressed that the United Nations was making an effort to protect and assist all communities in Rakhine State.
“Prejudice and violence against members of ethnic and religious minorities run the risk of dividing the country in its commendable national reconciliation efforts, undermine national solidarity, and upset prospects of peace-building,” she said.
This week, the European Commission, the US, Asean, Islamic organizations and Quintana, the UN special human rights reporter, have called for access to western Burma by humanitarian groups and for a credible investigation.
Earlier this week, 58 civil society groups condemned what it said is a “wave of abuse launched by state authorities in Myanmar against the Rohingya community,” in a statement released on Tuesday.
It also charged Bangladesh with flouting international law in its attempts to prevent fleeing Rohingya from entering the country.
The coalition group – led by Refugees International, the Arakan Project, and the Equal Rights Trust – issued a series of recommendations that were delivered to the governments of Burma and Bangladesh on Tuesday.
“In Myanmar, what began as inter-communal violence has evolved into large scale state-sponsored violence against the Rohingya,” said the statement.
“Many Rohingya continue to be victims of violence and cannot leave their homes for fear of persecution, and are thus deprived of their livelihood and most basic needs,” said the advocacy groups. “The urgent humanitarian needs of those displaced (IDPs) – including those not in IDP camps – are not being adequately met and there is concern that those displaced will not be allowed to return to their homes as soon as it is safe to do so, thus creating a situation of protracted displacement.”
Pakistani Taliban threatens Burma
Myanmar has been threated with attacks by an umbrella group of the
Pakistani Taliban over its treatment of Rohingya Muslims in the western
area of Burma.
The spokesperson said attacks to avenge crimes against the Rohingya will begin, the Tehreek-e-Taliban (TTP) said in a statement on Thursday, unless Pakistan halts all relations with the Burmese government and shuts the country's embassy in Islamabad. TTP told Muslims in Burma, “We will take revenge of your blood.”
A Taliban spokesman, Ehsanullah Ehsan, demanded that the Pakistani government halt intra-national relations and close Burma's embassy.
“Otherwise we will not only attack Burmese interests anywhere but will also attack the Pakistani fellows of Burma one by one,” he said in a statement.

Hamas: Gaza-Egypt border to be eased
Hamas leader Ismail Haniya announced border restrictions soon to be
eased between Egypt and the Palestinian enclave of Gaza. Haniya met
Egyptian president Mohamed Morsi on Thursday. He told supporters on
Saturday that Morsi had agreed to relax border controls.Haniya said
border open times will be extended by four hours to twelve hours a day.
The number of people allowed to cross the border per day will be
increased from 1,000 to 1,500.
Hamas is the ruling party in the Gaza Strip and an offshoot of
Morsi’s Muslim Brotherhood. Hamas politicians have been working on
improving the relationship with Cairo since the inauguration of the new
Egyptian president.The border was strictly controlled under the former
government of ousted president Hosni Mubarak.
Israel too appears to be trying to rebuild its relationship with Egypt to improve security. It is increasingly concerned about the deepening relationship between Hamas and Egypt.

Violence between ethnic Rakhine Buddhists and Rohingya Muslims in the state, was triggered after an ethnic Rakhine woman was raped and murdered on May 28, according to the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR). This incident was then followed by the killing of 10 Muslims by an unidentified mob on June 3.The violence has affected over 30,000 people, and the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) has continued aiding with additional tents.
Pillay added that reports - from independent sources -indicate that “the initial swift response of the authorities to the communal violence may have turned into a crackdown targeting Muslims, in particular members of the Rohingya [Muslim] community.”
Pillay also called on national leaders to speak out against discrimination, the exclusion of minorities and racist attitudes, and in support of equal rights for all in Myanmar, as “prejudice and violence against members of ethnic and religious minorities run the risk of dividing the country.”
In an interview with the Sunday Express, Bangladeshi prime minister Hasina said that her government had passed on concerns about a number of unidentified “incidents” to the authorities in Myanmar where there have been clashes between Buddhists and Muslims.Clashes has seen dozens killed, is taking place in the western Myanmarese state of Rakhine. Thousands of Rohingyas, described by the UN as a persecuted Islamic minority group in Myanmar, have tried to flee to Bangaldesh.
Hasina’s Awami League government has been turning them away at the border, angering campaign groups Human Rights Watch and Amnesty.She, however, told the Sunday Express that the international community should investigate why so many were fleeing.“As for refugees, we have a large number trying to get into our country, which is already over-populated. How many can we take it? We don’t want any refugees coming to Bangladesh.
“The international community should try and find out why these refugees want to come,” she said.
Asked if she was concerned that Jamaat-e-Islami could be encouraging some refugees, she said: “We have some intelligence reports about it.“We are trying to find out the reality.”
The Bangladeshi prime minister, who attended late Friday night’s Olympic opening ceremony, also praised Britain and Scotland Yard for helping in the fight against terrorism.Hasina met British Foreign Secretary William Hague earlier Saturday to discuss the situation.Media agencies

Background Information
Mahapurush
Srimanta Sankaradeva the multi-dimensional personality is
one of the leading lights of the Neo- Vaisnavite Movement. He was not only a
religious preceptor, but also a social reformer, who had galvanised the ethnic
groups of the volatile North East India and is regarded as the father of the
modern Assamese race.
He is credited with providing a thread
of unity to Assam straddling two major kingdoms (Ahom and Koch kingdoms),
building on past literary activities to provide the bedrock of Assamese
culture, and creating a religion that gave shape to a set of new values and
social synthesis. He propagated a casteless society, bringing people from
different caste, religion as a part of his team. He created the Sattra
Institution, Sattriya dance which has become a National Dance Form. He travelled across the country and
introduced the concept of “Bharatvarsa” to Assam.
Sankaradeva is one of the most
versatile saint-poets of India. His was a multi-dimensional personality: There
are poets and composers, there are saints and religious teachers, there are
musical masters, there are preachers; but Sankaradeva was a genius in whom all
these qualities were rolled into one.
However,
such a multi-faceted personality hasn’t got due recognition in in the rest of
the country in later years and his creative works remained within the
boundaries of Assam. His vision during his time has great relevance even today,
when the entire country is witnessing parochialism and divisions amongst
various groups of people.
At a time when Assam and the North East India
is going through a strong Separatist movement for the last many decades, the
principles of Mahapurush Sankaradeva is more relevant. He was responsible for
creation Assamese community and integrates with the Indian mainstream and
creating a fundamentally strong ethos which is still binding the State and the
region.
The Programme is organized by Trend
MMS - the leading entertainment Firm of Assam - in association with Assam Association,
New Delhi and support from Ministry of Culture, Government of India. North East
Media Managers Forum is also associated with the programme. Communication and media Engagement of the
event will be done by SAUV Communications Private Limited, New Delhi.

Jail, punishment and other violent actions are against Gandhian philosophy. Leaders must quit their office, profession on their own if found deflected from their path of welfare and irregularities committed as prevalent in Japan, Europe and other developed countries.Leaders with black records must also be ostracized by the democratic institutions and society.
Team Anna sat on a hunger strike at Jantar Mantar
Team Anna has launched their indefinite fast in New Delhi on Wednesday, raising the pitch against the UPA government on the issue of corruption.
Anna Hazare's three close aides -- Arvind Kejriwal, Manish Sisodia and Gopal Rai -- sat on a hunger strike at Jantar Mantar here while the 74-year-old activist is on a dharna.
Hazare has served an ultimatum that he will wait for the government to take a decision on their demands in the next four days or else he will join his colleagues on fast from Sunday.
Before reaching the protest venue, Hazare and his team members went to Rajghat to pay homage to Mahatma Gandhi.
As he arrived on the stage
erected at Jantar Mantar, Hazare raised slogans like
'Inqulab Zindabad' and 'Bharat Mata Ki Jai' as his supporters waved the
tricolour.
The protesters demand a strong Lokpal, setting up of a special team to probe corruption allegations against 15 Union Ministers, including Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, setting up of a fast track court to try criminal cases against MPs and SIT looking into allegations against party chiefs.On Tuesday, Hazare and his team spoke in different voices on the indefinite fast with the activist asserting that it is for Lokpal Bill while his aides said it is limited to their three demands.
Team Anna indefinite anshan at Jantar Mantar
Is the Anna Campaign making an awareness campaign to weed out corruption in the system and the eminent people in Anna's camp ought to be aware of the ccorrupt practices in our society which also needs to be corrected.Team Annas think tank is harping on one point of JLPB, the deate on this must continue but experts are of opinions that we as a society must stand firm to weed out corruption. Jail, punishment and other violent actions are against Gandhian philosophy. Leaders must quit their office, profession on their own if found deflected from their path of welfare and irregularities committed as prevalent in Japan, Europe and other developed countries.Leaders with black records must also be ostracized by the democratic institutions and society.
However the Team Annas press release is as follows: Seen in the sea of people were thousands in Anna cap , singing patriotic songs and thus started the fervid campaign of Team Anna at Jantar Mantar this morning, the movement of people against corruption and inefficiency in government and its cadres. Coincidently today Pranab Mukerjee, one of the key accused as claimed by team Anna, in Submarine AND Rice export scams, also took office as the 13th president of the nation. People from all walks of life, young and old, men and women, children and college going students turnout to see the uproar in the massive gathering , in the sweltering heat of the Sun and managing day’s life with basic minimal amenities such as water and food. Speakers, one by one, mocked at the long and old history of incompetence, lethargy , corrupt practices and lawless governance ruling the country for last 63 years of independence which many call “rule by the black foreigners”.
Amazing was the enthusiasm shown by people sitting on open road, singing patriotic songs and cheering team Anna. Sunil Lal, a team member has converted the Jan Lok Pal bill in 16 languages including Marathi, Gujarati, and Punjabi etc for the common people to understand what it means to them. Another supporter, col Devender Sehrawat raised the issue of farmers and minimum support price and how the governments, one after another, have ignored farmer’s interest to plunder their lands offering minimum prices and colluding with the business groups. This has happened while the lame “land acquisition act” has been pending like a ping pong ball in the governments and judiciary. The unaccountability in government offices was clearly imaginable when people talked about countracts worth Rs 50 lacs being sanctioned but only Rs 3 lacs was spent on actual development , remaining amount being shared between politicians and business goons. This is a naked truth we see when we compare the quality of roads and hospitals and schools and us and what we see in private institutions which have become rampant machines to loot the common man. Rightly someone pointed out as in “Pan Singh Tomar”- only guns are left in Chambal, all dacoits now sit in Delhi. Speakers also talked about how political parties resort to illegal and unethical practices for seeing vote by offering money and other lures to gullible voters.
Suman Lal Jain,(95), an associate of Vinoba Bhave and friend of Anna also joined to show his support for the national cause of eliminating graft and corruption from the country. Fodder cam, 2G scam, CWG, Coalgate and what not- all came as topics of reference for the speakers who mocked at callousness shown by the top leadership of all political parties who have ruled the nation ever after independence and nothing has come to the common man who has attuned to live without water, power , healthcare and other basic things of life.
Thousands of people turned up to support the campaign. The gathering was addressed by Anna, Kiran Bedi, Manish Sisodia, Gopal Rai, Prashant Bhushan and Arvind Kejriwal. Kumar Vishwas and Sanjay Singh managed the stage. Also present were Shanti Bhushan, Sunita Godara, Devinder Sharma and Akhil Gogoi.
In many places in India, Anshankaris were not allowed to hold peaceful protests and were detained. In Kolkata, some people were arrested as a huge crowd of protestors gathered around the Central Lock-up, Lal Bazar. In Pune, volunteers of India Against Corruption were arrested while in Mumbai 50 activists protesting were peacefully arrested. Around 8 buses from Bhatinda carrying 1000 supporters was stopped from entering Delhi.
People from various cities across the country are expected to arrive in Jantar Mantar tomorrow. This includes people from all four districts of Sikkim who will come to Delhi all the way from their home state. One of them is Mr YT Lepcha who will also sit on indefinite fast.
Around 400 people started an indefinite anshan at Delhi today.
People from places like Madhya Pradesh, Bihar and Uttar Pradesh are pouring in to lend their support to the Janlokpal Bill. A street play group from Palwal also performed a play on corruption called – Dhritrashtra ka Darbar. Even in the sweltering heat, people from all age groups, castes and regions of the country are lending enthusiastic support to the fight led by Anna Hazare. A 95-year old freedom fighter who had also taken active part in JP andolan had come all the way from Agra to support India Against Corruption. In a small UP-Bihar border village of Sitab Deara, JP Narayan's 87-year old brother KC Verma and his wife also sat on an indefinite anshan.
Roaring ‘Vande Matram’ and ‘Bharat Mata ki Jai’ those who couldn’t join the fast at Delhi are lending their support from their native places by organizing anshans there.
Towards the evening, Arvind Kejriwal and Prashant Bhushan explained the charges on 5 out of the 15 ministers against whom an independent SIT is being demanded. These ministers were Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, newly elected President Pranab Mukherjee, Virbhadra Singh, Kapil Sibal and P. Chidambaram. Before starting explanation of charges on each of the 5 ministers, the crowd was asked how many felt that the respective minister was corrupt. Barring a few, all hands went up in the air followed by a loud roar.
The coalgate scam involving Prime Minister was discussed in detail. The allegations on Pranab over the rice export scam where the Ghana govt had raised serious allegations against the then External Affairs Minister currently the President Pranab Mukherjee was also discussed along with the Navy War room leak case.
For details of the charges on each of the Ministers, pls visit our website www.indiaagainstcorruption.org.
Referring to Ambika Soni's statement that a defamation case would be filed against Team Anna members, Arvind Kejriwal dared the govt to file the case.
Annaji in his address said after seeing the number of youth gathered at the venue he felt like a 75-year youth. He said that what the Britishers could not loot in 150 years, our politicians have looted after we gained our Independence. He also said that even though the PM had agreed on 3 demands - Citizen Charter, Lower Bureaucracy and Lokayukta - the govt did not fulfil its promise.
Arvind Kejriwal challenged the NSUI who allegedly tried to create ruckus at the gathering this morning, by inviting them for sharing their thoughts rather than engaging in destructive and anti- social activities. He sought involvement and support from young Indians to further this national cause and improve the state of affairs in the nation. He promised to expose 15 corrupt politicians who are MPs and this list included PM Manmohan Singh, Pranab Mukerjee and many others. Speakers from many prominent parties and groups spoke including Imam Council of India.

The unaccountability in government offices was clearly imaginable when people talked about countracts worth Rs 50 lacs being sanctioned but only Rs 3 lacs was spent on actual development , remaining amount being shared between politicians and business goons. This is a naked truth we see when we compare the quality of roads and hospitals and schools and us and what we see in private institutions which have become rampant machines to loot the common man. Rightly someone pointed out as in “Pan Singh Tomar”- only guns are left in Chambal, all dacoits now sit in Delhi. Speakers also talked about how political parties resort to illegal and unethical practices for seeing vote by offering money and other lures to gullible voters.
Suman Lal Jain,(95), an associate of Vinoba Bhave and friend of Anna also joined to show his support for the national cause of eliminating graft and corruption from the country. Fodder cam, 2G scam, CWG, Coalgate and what not- all came as topics of reference for the speakers who mocked at callousness shown by the top leadership of all political parties who have ruled the nation ever after independence and nothing has come to the common man who has attuned to live without water, power , healthcare and other basic things of life.
Thousands of people turned up to support the campaign. The gathering was addressed by Anna, Kiran Bedi, Manish Sisodia, Gopal Rai, Prashant Bhushan and Arvind Kejriwal. Kumar Vishwas and Sanjay Singh managed the stage. Also present were Shanti Bhushan, Sunita Godara, Devinder Sharma and Akhil Gogoi.
In many places in India, Anshankaris were not allowed to hold peaceful protests and were detained. In Kolkata, some people were arrested as a huge crowd of protestors gathered around the Central Lock-up, Lal Bazar. In Pune, volunteers of India Against Corruption were arrested while in Mumbai 50 activists protesting were peacefully arrested. Around 8 buses from Bhatinda carrying 1000 supporters was stopped from entering Delhi.
People from various cities across the country are expected to arrive in Jantar Mantar tomorrow. This includes people from all four districts of Sikkim who will come to Delhi all the way from their home state. One of them is Mr YT Lepcha who will also sit on indefinite fast.
Around 400 people started an indefinite anshan at Delhi today.
People from places like Madhya Pradesh, Bihar and Uttar Pradesh are pouring in to lend their support to the Janlokpal Bill. A street play group from Palwal also performed a play on corruption called – Dhritrashtra ka Darbar. Even in the sweltering heat, people from all age groups, castes and regions of the country are lending enthusiastic support to the fight led by Anna Hazare. A 95-year old freedom fighter who had also taken active part in JP andolan had come all the way from Agra to support India Against Corruption. In a small UP-Bihar border village of Sitab Deara, JP Narayan's 87-year old brother KC Verma and his wife also sat on an indefinite anshan.
Roaring ‘Vande Matram’ and ‘Bharat Mata ki Jai’ those who couldn’t join the fast at Delhi are lending their support from their native places by organizing anshans there.
Towards the evening, Arvind Kejriwal and Prashant Bhushan explained the charges on 5 out of the 15 ministers against whom an independent SIT is being demanded. These ministers were Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, newly elected President Pranab Mukherjee, Virbhadra Singh, Kapil Sibal and P. Chidambaram. Before starting explanation of charges on each of the 5 ministers, the crowd was asked how many felt that the respective minister was corrupt. Barring a few, all hands went up in the air followed by a loud roar.
The coalgate scam involving Prime Minister was discussed in detail. The allegations on Pranab over the rice export scam where the Ghana govt had raised serious allegations against the then External Affairs Minister currently the President Pranab Mukherjee was also discussed along with the Navy War room leak case.
For details of the charges on each of the Ministers, pls visit our website www.indiaagainstcorruption.org.
Referring to Ambika Soni's statement that a defamation case would be filed against Team Anna members, Arvind Kejriwal dared the govt to file the case.
Annaji in his address said after seeing the number of youth gathered at the venue he felt like a 75-year youth. He said that what the Britishers could not loot in 150 years, our politicians have looted after we gained our Independence. He also said that even though the PM had agreed on 3 demands - Citizen Charter, Lower Bureaucracy and Lokayukta - the govt did not fulfil its promise.
Arvind Kejriwal challenged the NSUI who allegedly tried to create ruckus at the gathering this morning, by inviting them for sharing their thoughts rather than engaging in destructive and anti- social activities. He sought involvement and support from young Indians to further this national cause and improve the state of affairs in the nation. He promised to expose 15 corrupt politicians who are MPs and this list included PM Manmohan Singh, Pranab Mukerjee and many others. Speakers from many prominent parties and groups spoke including Imam Council of India.
